European Union, Norway and the United Kingdom - fisheries consultations: agreed records 2025
Agreed records of consultations from meetings of delegations from the United Kingdom, Norway and the European Union, held in November 2024 on the joint management of shared North Sea stocks.
21 Other shared stocks (not jointly managed)
21.1 The Delegations agreed during the fisheries consultations for 2021 that there are several stocks not covered in Table 1 that, based on their migration pattern, are shared stocks and consequently should be jointly managed in order to better ensure their long-term sustainable management. This includes inter alia hake, anglerfish and Norway pout.
21.2 The Delegations recalled that during the fisheries consultations for 2022 they had established a Working Group of experts to collect and collate data on the distribution of hake in the Greater North Sea, Celtic Seas, the Northern Bay of Biscay and adjacent waters. The Delegations noted that the Working Group is expected to submit its report in early 2025.
21.3 The Delegations recalled that during fisheries consultations in 2022 they had established a Working Group of experts to collect and collate data on the distribution of anglerfish in Subareas 4 and 6 and in Division 3.a. The report is now finished and was presented by representatives from the Working Group. The Delegations welcomed the report and agreed to meet during 2025 to start discussions about all aspects of joint management, including, but not limited to, sharing.
